Sadly disappointed.

Pros

The pay was great, physical aspect of the job because it passes time, working outside because it allows you to be active and not sit behind a computer all day, how their were opportunities to do more and help with projects and get more experience, most of my co-workers were great and didn't mind being a team player, the benefits were excellent.

Cons

Shift work, getting forced to work overtime a lot, working holidays, the long shifts, relief time being so early in the morning. Personally for me, the HR team at Texas City was TERRIBLE.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits.

Cons

Overall, management has a problem separating their personal favorites from the better performers. Doing so fosters an environment where those on the front line will drag their feet or figure a way to resist, challenge or oppose any ideas from the top just simply out of spite. In times of great operating margins, this results in leaving money (profit) on the table. In times of tight operating margins, this can result in a negative cash flow as opposed to a positive one.

Pros

Company at its core is a great company with great benefits

Cons

Operations accounting has poor management. Insufficient staff, heavy workloads, unrealistic expectations, poor workload balance. Had to return too quickly to the office during peak covid period.
